Going to The Grand National? Here are the Best Places to Stay

So you’ve already planned your day at Aintree, and you’ve probably already decided how much you’re going to be betting on the Grand National, but have you worked out where you’re going to stay?

In their excitement that naturally comes with booking a few days at Aintree, many people simply forget to book a place to stay, which means they often get ‘round to booking a room just a little too late. Don’t be one of those people! Book a hotel right now, so your whole trip is organised, and you won’t have to book a room in a hotel 20 miles away. Let’s take a look at some of the best places to stay:

Want a touch of luxury?

The first purpose-built hotel in Liverpool, MalMaison is a stylish hotel that has some incredible sea views and adds that touch of luxury to your time away. The boutique hotel is located in the centre of Liverpool and is just 8 miles from Aintree. The rooms are elegantly and exquisitely decorated and include power showers, free WiFi and large beds. If you want to spoil yourself and retire to bed in a hotel that screams style, MalMaison is the place to stay.

A Touch of the Traditional

If you are looking for a touch of the traditional and you would love nothing more than to stay at a guest house that’s ideal for racing enthusiasts, you need to book a room at the Oaklea Barn Guest House. Providing luxury accommodation with a traditional feel, the Guest House has 6 guest suites and an impressive 30 acres of gardens. Situated next to the Oaklea Racing Stables, if you want to get your fill of horse racing, this is the place to stay. The rooms are nicely decorated with something of a traditional farmhouse feel, but that doesn’t mean your stay will not be luxurious. Just 5 miles from Aintree, and relatively quiet, the Oaklea Barn Guest House is ideal if you want a touch of the traditional.
